Tea at the garden nursery

This was our table. Almost every year we have a tea party at this beautiful nursery,near St.Paul Or. The doggie in the picture belongs to the nursery. He likes to beg.

Isn't the table pretty? I made the cupcakes and food, decorated the boxes with ribbon roses. We had cucumber, chicken salad and egg salad sandwiches. Fresh baked scones,with homemade strawberry jam, and devionshire cream.Plus tea of course. The table cloth is one of my favorite vintage finds. We had white on white doilies at each place setting and under all the food plates.

Chocolate cupcakes, with butter cream frosting. Yummmm! I piped the roses, don't look too close I am not a cake decorator. the roses in the tiny vases are Eden rose from my garden. I had one for each place setting.


This is a close up of the box, they were on sale for a mere pittance at Michales, I chose blue, and pink, stripes and floral. the best part is when you open the box. Surprise, your tea lunch is...




Inside! It was a fun day, at a beautiful place. I wish I had pictures of the garden so you could see how lovely it was. Good food, nice company, a pretty setting, and fair weather. Who could ask for anything more, except more of the same. I Hope you enjoy the pictures, and feel the ambiance.
